Default Painted Calipers

Saw an X reg car at the dealers recently and the brake calipers looked really bad.

Powder coating would be something I would suggest Honda does on future specs. Many others in the price range do.

Anyway, noticed some of you have painted calipers.

Have you bought one of the packs available from Demon Tewweks etc and DIY.

If so what experience do people have with application and longevity.

Cheers

Smooth Hammerite, a small brush, solvent degreaser, a stiff brush, some patience and a dry day.
Only took me a few hours and they still look as good as new.
I strongly recommend you have a go, just pick your colour wisely.
